Will the granules be affected by rain runoff to the point that it kills plants downstream?

Hi; There is no simple answer to this question, Some variables to consider.. How much rain? Is it enough to redistribute the granules, if so, I believe it would effect downstream vegetation. If granules are already absorbed into the soil, rain runoff effects should be minimal, and I feel a trace concentration of herbicide would not usually have a detrimental effect on most vegetation. How far away are the downstream plants? Are the downstream plants very special to you, or easily replaced if lost? I had no problem with using this product on my sloped driveway near grass and landscaping rock areas near flower beds. Hope this helps in your decision.

Hello. Honestly I don't know the answer. Where I use it is a barren area except for weeds and it runs off into a paved area. I will also say that where I used it and raved about it has been clear for over two years now after on application. Good thing....hopefully :)

I did not have any problems with that. I have a rock landscaped front yard with multiple bushes and shrubs. This killed the weeds where is spread it but none of the decorative shrubs were damaged at all.

I sprayed mine not just on my roof, but directly onto a brick patio that is surrounded by roses, shrubs, and grass, and have had no problems with it affecting any of my plants when it rained. (You will actually see it foam/bubble the first couple of rains after you spray it down). My shrubs that sit just under the roof area that I sprayed were also unaffected.

This product will kill any kind of vegetation you spray. However, that is only if you directly spray them. Spraying pest around them and spraying the soil will have no effect on these plants. It Only kills what is directly sprayed.

Insect has to crawl thru the powder to be killed. Rain or moisture will ruin the powder. No repellent effect at all. USELESS outdoors unless you pour it right on the insects' path and reapply every time it gets wet.

Directly on the plants mostly. it discolors theM for a few days but then goes away. It had no effect on the plant as far as damage to the plant... but unfortunately it had no effect on the deer either.

Hello & glad you asked. This is a granular product to be used in potted plants, spread evenly & worked into the soil. We ordered it not knowing how specific the application was. But we found it useful in decorative container plants. We also discovered that this product is very harmful if it gets into ponds & streams because it will devastate aquatic life.

Depends on how much force does the waterfall generate. It is a fine mesh where rain water can go through, but I am not sure if it would hold up to a concentrated area of waterflow for a long period of time.

I've used it around well established plants with no noticeable consequences. Don't get any of the spray on the leaves. It will kill any green it touches.

No just spray it, with in the week it will be dead including the roots. Be careful of drift, it will kill other plants. Sooner or later you will have to cut the plant, but it is easier to cut them after the leaves fall.

No, it will kill all but the very hardiest plant. Now, I do put it directly on some particularly nasty weeds in my yard. It will kill them, and then the grass eventually grows back.

great question. I applied this product a day prior to a rain storm. after the rain storm I noticed that the rain did not dilute the effectiveness of this product. exactly a week later all my weeds r all brown and withered away

Yes, not instantly. The residual effect stays good for a few weeks, unless rain comes. Carpenter bees and almost any insect or arthopod are affected by Suspend. Good insecticide.

This product is a total vegitation kill and will harm trees if this soaks into root system. established trees could probably bounce back, however, this prodiccet could be problamatic for small ornamental trees.

Not really, this product is designed to kill greenery. I have sometimes sprayed around trees accidently and nothing happened to the trees or roots

We do not use it near our garden. We use it for our brick patio and walkways. I can tell you, if you have a low spot and good amount of rain the pellets/powder can float/move to a low spot. This year we had a lot a rain and it move to a low spot and killed the grass.

Yes, once after a hard rain the water splashed up and created a clog. I then moved away from sticks and used kernels instead and have not had any problems.

I think this would kill any insect, but it is so potent it shouldn't be used it on anything that produces food. That means birds could also be harmed. The label even has a cautionary statement to not use around ponds, streams etc. - all waterways where fish & other amphibious creatures inhabit. That is why I've used it twice in five years & only on our house plants.
